A debate that has been raging for 20 years about whether a certain interaction between photons can be used in quantum computing has taken a new twist, thanks to two physicists in Canada. The researchers have shown that it should be possible to use "cross-Kerr nonlinearities" to create a cross-phase... Published Wed, Aug 17, 2016
"If true, it's revolutionary," said Jonathan Feng, professor of physics & astronomy. "For decades, we've known of four fundamental forces: gravitation, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. If confirmed by further experiments, this discovery of a possible fifth force... Published Fri, Aug 12, 2016
Lowdimensional integrable models and (supersymmetric) nonabelian gauge theories attracted a great deal of attention in the early attempts to resolve the fundamental problems of quantum gravity and confinement. Jointly with parallel developments in statistical mechanics these models shaped the... Published Fri, Aug 12, 2016
In a recent paper, published at Science Advances, a team of researchers from the University of Queensland and the Heriot-Watt University, in collaboration with IIP Professor Rafael Chaves, developed an experiment that helped prove that the tension between causality and quantum mechanics is even...
